In the same video, the Michigan-born star mouthed the viral TikTok sound bite "It's like a reward" from the Quentin Tarantino-directed film Django Unchained, along with a text overlay that read, "When you finally get ozempic allegations after 5 months of weight training and calorie deficit."
Ozempic is an injectable medication that received approval by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2017 for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, as one of its side effects is that it reduces appetite, some physicians prescribe it for weight-loss purposes.
Ozempic is the same medication as Wegovy, which was approved by the FDA in 2021 as an anti-obesity medication. The only difference between them is that Wegovy has higher doses of the antidiabetic medication semaglutide, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
